The seal hasn't been replaced yet. Let me explain in detail.

$207 is for diagnostics for the fuel smell, buzzing sound that came from front while rolling the car at very very low speeds, air bag activation error, and sun roof not closing or opening with one touch.
So they fixed the sun roof by oiling it, moved the pads further away from calipers.

Now they have ordered parts as in for the fuel seal and belt buckle since it needs a new one. It is costing me another $400 something so all in all it'll be around 950$.

Attached the receipt of the things that got done until now. I have to take the car in tomorrow to get those items fixed noow

 

Be ready to spend another couple of thousand in a few weeks/months.

 

From Autoblog today
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced a recall of 4,195 Jaguar XF models from the 2010 to 2012 model years due to potential fuel leak woes.

In its statement, NHTSA says that the affected vehicles are those "equipped with a 5.0-liter gasoline engine" – all US-spec XF models have this V8 underhood – but a spokesperson from Jaguar North America confirmed to Autoblog that this recall does, in fact, apply to both naturally aspirated and supercharged models.

According to NHTSA, "The affected vehicles may have a fuel tank fuel outlet flange that may crack." This means that fuel has the potential to leak onto the ground, and in the presence of an ignition source, catch fire.

The official recall campaign will begin in early December, at which point Jaguar will notify its owners and dealers will replace the faulty fuel outlet flanges free of charge. Scroll down to read the full NHTSA notice.

This raises more questions than answers for us..... we have documented pictures of fuel leaking from E55's at the fuel sending unit and the gas tank but the NHTSA fails to act on it. Is it due to the age of the cars or the huge $$$ size of the claim?

 

With the Jaguar
Only 17 warranty claims and three field reports to initiate a recall

Doesnt that get you boiling mad?

 

Jaguars document regarding their recall.
Sounds familiar?

 

Wow, great work, thank you. I can't believe the media or someone like Car and Driver have not picked up on this issue with MB. We have similar problems with fuel leaks but no resolution. It has gone on far too long and multiple complaints with 1,000's of views but no response from MB or the NHTSA. Thank god no one has had a flame up, it is Beyond logical.

 

My 05 E55 AMG is leaking into the backseat and on the ground for the 2nd time in 2 months and this is my 3rd fuel related issue in 3 mo the cuz 2 weeks after I got the car the fuel pump relay burned up. I'm about done with MB just because of this issue. I filed with the NHTSA and thought these issues were fixed by MB dealer but I guess not. Fuel puddles in the car and if I move the car then there is a huge spill under the car. The fumes about knock you out and I'm afraid to even drive it just for the fact that if someone rear ends me or anything.

 

Hard to believe something like this is taking so long
I love how Mercedes is downplaying the issue when Jaguar steps up to the plate without any pressure from NHTSA and offers to fix the car.

Please list your ODI claim # so GregMB can add it to the list of confirmed reports
We're up to 66 so far on the AMG E55.

 

I gave him my info so he should have it on the list

 

Take some pictures and maybe a video if you can. Mercedes is trying to say this is impossible and thr more pictures video and complaints we get the better. These are the pieces of the puzzle we need to nail Mercedes into paying for it.

 

Greg - I am on the list, but here is my ODI # 10454625 filed on 4/9/12. I too am discouraged that the NHTSA has dragged its feet for so long. Hard to believe we are coming up on a year since the investigation was initiated and no movement. PJ57

 

got my car back yesterday for the DS fuel sending unit leaking. Below are the part #s on the invoice

211-470-40-94 auxillary pu
211-440-05-07 cable harness
211-471-02-41 bracket
211-471-05-79 seal ring for both sides

i see that 211-470-49-94 is the newest design and not see the first part # at all in the diagram on prev posts. i dont think they replaced my fuel sending unit part 211-470-49-94, but actually the fuel pump which is the auxillary pu listed above. Will def take the car back if i continue to smell fuel.

 

What year and model car are we talking about here....E55?

The cars listed in your profile were not part of the original recall.

Thanks!

This is just lame. Can't pass inspection for 2months cause of the check engine code it throws.

 

Clear it and dont fill up all the way.

 

Tried. No cigar. Goes away comes back.

 

Had everything changed on mine in feb 2012, well last week, fuel smell back in cabin, passenger side fuel sender leaking again, brought to dealership today, we will see, not even a year and happened again, mine had fuel senders, gas tank and everything changed, this obviously is not a normal wear and tear item..will keep you guys updated

 

Interesting a NEW tank is leaking as well. Hope NHTSA is seeing this.

 

Don't know if it's the tank, seems like its the pass side sending unit but it was changed back in feb 2012 as well

 

Would you be willing to share the Feb 2012 and most recent repair orders? I'd love to see the detailed part numbers for each of those repairs.

Ok guys got the call about 45 min ago, it's the passenger side sending unit and because THAT was repaired back in dec 2011 by the previous owner then they will pay for the repair and the cause of the leak, " because the tech didn't roll the seal right"

Well heres the situation now.... I will not receive a year warranty on a brand new sending unit because the warranty on the work expires in dec, now isn't it wrong that a new part shouldn't get a warranty especially when it was their techs fault, this stuff is just mind boggling!

I will be calling MBUSA and see if they will extend me the warranty on that part

 

Doesn't the invoice say 12k miles or 12 month warranty on parts for work done??? I had my valve cover gaskets done 3x on passenger side in 12 months. First time went in for leaky valve cover. 10 min from getting there and tech start up and oil gushing all over engine. Tech says due to bad gasket. Nope didn't seat in flush inside the ridges. Next day come back to get car. Ten months later same side leaking again. So replaced again.

 

It's just mind boggling
Now imagine it was on your 12th month and it broke and then your "warranty" expires 3 days later and you are back in for the same problem but they charge you, that's bs especially for this whole fuel issue!

 

ok guys update here..didnt get the car back because the other side started leaking, should be done later today, so i asked why this is happening and the tech said the head foreman beleives it is because of the mods and the pumps generating so much heat that its melting the plastic, i then said well why do stock cars have this problem as well, and he had no answer, truth is it is a flawed design and they know it
